Part 9

Tuah
smiled. He held himself from laughing. "What you saw at the hospital,
Zakri, is only a fraction of what is really walking amongst us." he said.
"The Djinns, as the people of this world is collectively known as, like
humans for you, are of various ethnicity and religion and they are just as
diverse as you humans are." he placed a marker on the edge of the sidewalk
and a lantern burst into the air. It glows blue and in an instant, the blue cab
stops in front of it.

"Master
Tuah." The Unicorn who drove the cab earlier poked its head from the
inside of the cab. "Where can I get you to?" he said.

Tuah
stepped into the cab followed by Zakri. The Unicorn turn its head to the side.
"Take me to the arena" said Tuah and the Unicorn nod.

"We're
here" it said.

"Thanks"
said Tuah and he ushered Zakri out through the door.

A
large building, like those of Rome's Colosseum stood in front of them. It was
larger though the architecture was strikingly similar. Statues of strange
creatures adorned the outer walls of the building while windows with coloured
glass each depicting a battle of some sort adorned the walls in between the
statues.

"Welcome
to the Arena" said Tuah. He slaps Zakri's back and went ahead to the main
entrance. Zakri, still awed from the sheer magnificent of the building, froze
in his spot. Tuah talked to the guard in front of the entrance. He nods and
they nods and once he finished, he turned towards Zakri who was still frozen
looking at the outer wall of the building. "Come on now! Or do you prefer
to stand like a dork there?" said Tuah.

The
words slapped Zakri back to reality. He shook his head and turned to Tuah who
gestured for him to follow and disappeared into the building. Zakri jogged for
the main entrance and entered the building trailing Tuah who had already gone
inside.
